Could everyone agree that no one should be left alone?

I had a dream about my Dad this morning. It was the first dream of my Dad that I remember since he died.

Dad, Mom, Elise, Maly and I were on vacation and having fun on the deck of some unbeknownst-to-me beach house off the Gulf of Mexico; somewhere where Dad had lived before or some place he wished he’d lived in the past.

We all knew that it was our last vacation before Dad was to leave us. We were all having fun despite the eminent. We were all wearing white. It was all too surreal.

I knew these were my last days with Dad. I wanted to take pictures of him so I could capture still images of the man who means the world to me.

My camera wouldn’t take pictures. I would press the shutter button and nothing would happen. I couldn’t take a photo.

I couldn’t take a photo. I wasn’t supposed to take a photo.

  1. It was a nice day for the five of us, and the last photo of your Dad was taken in a nice place, the butterfly atrium. We enjoyed our lunch in the park under a tree. It could not have been a better day. I’ll always remember that day.

  2. Just reading your journals on your father makes me appreciate the time I spend with my dad as well. I know he is getting old and everytime I get a chance to go back home to spend time with him I take advantage of it. I’m lucky to have a great father like yours and I can only imagine what its like when he is gone.
